Stephen, who was obsessed with biology, thought that the death of thousands of civilians and hundreds of US soldiers was not important compared to the mysterious mystery of natural science and the birth of spiritual monsters.
His student, on the other hand, was even more indifferent to the calamity suffered by a stranger he did not know. Immediately, he deliberated and began to explain, "Professor, in the ancient Chinese book 'The Book of Flowers, Plants, and Trees', it is recorded that there will be a night every 60 years when the moon will emit rain-like gold and silver rays.
When the lucky plants and ores on the ground come into contact with this kind of light, they will be given life. According to our Chinese saying, it's called 'becoming a spirit' or 'turning into a monster' … "
"Oh, isn't this just a fairy tale? Young man, what you're reading is most likely an antique fairy tale book.
Stephen, is this the student you said you admire the most in your life?
He does have courage and the ability to survive in the wild, and he even has a little bit of 'strange luck,' but he doesn't seem to have a 'scientific spirit.' "Without warning, a high-pitched female voice interrupted Zhang Lisheng's narration not far away.
Stephen frowned and looked at the tall and fat middle-aged woman who spoke rudely to Zhang Lisheng. Loudly, he said, "Shut up, Effiny! We're not talking to you …"
Many of the scientists around them, who were originally in deep thought, heard the two elites of the academic world arguing again. They couldn't help but look over with a relaxed mood. Some people even chuckled softly, trying to find joy in the bitterness.
"Oh, doesn't the truth of science become clearer the more it is debated? Don't tell me that I can't ask my own questions?" Upon hearing someone's laughter, the fat woman became even more proud. "Or do you think my questions are hard to answer?"
Stephen shook his head in annoyance and no longer said anything.
At this time, a very young white boy who looked more like an idol singer than a scientist ran between the tall and fat woman and the Stanford professor with a helpless expression. With an apologetic expression, he said, "I'm sorry, Professor Steven. Teacher Effiny is just joking."
At the same time, Zhang Lisheng suddenly ran to the beach not far away. He took off his shirt and carefully picked up a pile of sand before returning to the sandman. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he shook his clothes and threw the sand on the sandman who was tied up.
Once he was done, he watched as the countless grains of sand from the Other World, which looked like metal particles, rolled under the sun and fused into the Sandman's body.
When Zhang Lisheng heard that the sandman, who had gradually lost his strength to roar, began to struggle desperately again, he smiled at the tall and fat woman. "Madam, this monster is just as I guessed. It's made of gravel, and it can recover by absorbing the sand on its body surface after it's injured.
Since you said that I don't have a 'scientific spirit', can you use your 'scientific spirit' to explain the biological principle of the birth of this creature? "
The tall and fat woman was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth and was rendered speechless by Zhang Lisheng's question. Instead, it was the major commander who was in charge of guarding the scene who was watching the fun who was stunned for a moment. He snapped back to his senses and shouted, "Sh * t! That monster will recover as soon as it touches the sand!
Hunt, Staff Sergeant Hunt, take your squadron and get the truck out. Isolate it from the beach. "
"Yes, sir." A powerful sergeant who was walking and patrolling in the distance replied and brought his men to run into the bunker.
After giving the defense order, the major breathed a sigh of relief and strode up to Zhang Lisheng. "Listen, Dr., I know that you're very smart and don't need others to teach you a lesson, but kill this monster on the ground …"
"Don't be nervous, Major. It's going to die, so you don't have to isolate it from the beach." Zhang Lisheng calmly interrupted what the major wanted to say next.
"What? What did you say, Dr.? Who's going to die?"
"I'm not a Dr. yet, Major." Zhang Lisheng suddenly walked up to the place that was extremely close to the sandman and reached out to caress the smooth body of the spiritual monster without any scruples. "This sand monster is going to die.
The vitality of a monster is not endless. On top of that, this captive of yours has yet to develop a human-like wisdom. It doesn't know that the smartest way to stay calm and recuperate after being seriously injured, so it has been struggling and roaring crazily.
Imagine this, what would it mean if a person who has two legs and one arm has been howling and struggling for a long time, and then his roaring suddenly starts to weaken?
It's going to die! "
"B-But it can't die yet! This is the only living inorganic life that humans have mastered in the world! It's more precious than all of us combined! We must save it!" The instant Zhang Lisheng's words left his mouth, an old bald scholar among the scientists suddenly shouted in panic.
"I don't think so." Zhang Lisheng smiled. "If this monster had just been caught, it'd be very easy to save it. We just need to give it sand in an appropriate amount slowly.
But now that it's going to die, giving it less sand won't work at all. It looks like the only way to save its life is to bury it directly in the sand pile.
However, if we do this, it'll also completely recover at the same time. For this reason, if anyone wants to save it, please tell me in advance so that I can go out of the city to avoid any accidents. "
"Don't worry, Dr., nobody will save it. All of the US soldiers here are willing to watch it die." The major looked at the sandman that was gradually stiffening and suddenly said coldly.
"But Major, we've sacrificed so much to capture it …"
"It's us who have sacrificed so much to capture it, not you, Professor!" In the face of the doubts of the bald scholar whose face was already distorted from excitement and the regretful faces of many scientists at the scene, the major said with a blank expression.
The officer's words made all of the scientists speechless. Just like what Zhang Lisheng had predicted, the sandman began to slowly lose its life.
"It's going to die! It's really going to die soon …" Watching the sandman gradually shrinking and the luster of its skin fading away, the bald scholar muttered anxiously with trembling lips. Without warning, he shifted his gaze to Zhang Lisheng. "There must be another way, right? There must be another way to save this monster.
Since you know it so well, you must know a safe way to save it as well. "
"Oh, Professor, it's not that I know this monster but because I like myths very much so I know more about the monsters in Chinese legends …"
"No matter what it is, let's stop talking nonsense, Dr.! Is there any other way to save this sand monster?"
Zhang Lisheng smiled noncommittally. When he was about to open his mouth, Stephen, who was by the side, also asked, "Do you have any way, Lisheng?"
Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment before shrugging. "There's an evil way that might work. Give it blood, human blood or the blood of the supernatural realm's aborigines. I'll say it again, I'm not a doctor yet."
"Blood? Blood? Why does it have to be the blood of humans and aborigines? Can't it be the blood of other animals?"
"No, in Chinese mythology, intelligent creatures and unintelligent creatures are two completely different levels of life.
Monsters rely on eating ordinary beasts to fill their stomachs while they rely on eating the flesh and blood of humans or their own kind to gain more power or heal their wounds. Humans, in particular, are considered as the most peaceful 'medicinal material' to them. "
"How terrifying! This is simply a demonic story!" The bald scholar muttered as he ran to the beach and grabbed a handful of the supernatural realm's sand, before cutting his hands into countless tiny wounds.
When he returned to the side of the sand monster, he placed his badly mutilated palms on the monster's body. In an instant, the skin of the sand monster that was half a square meter around his palms gradually regained its bright luster. "But it looks like it's very effective.
Everyone, we're all scientists so you should know the value of this monster. What are you waiting for? Come and help me! "
Upon hearing the bald scholar's words, the scientists around the sand monster were stunned at first. Then, some of them really imitated him and ran to the supernatural realm's beach to grab some sand, including Stephen.
Unfortunately, the sand monster's injury was just too serious and its body was just too big. Even though many scientists were willing to donate one to two hundred milliliters of blood, it was still impossible to save its life. In the end, the spiritual monster still lost its life under the indifferent gaze of the commander on the scene.
"This is a crime! You're committing a crime, Major …" After the sand monster died, the bald scholar became dispirited and snarled at the major in a hoarse voice.
"There are so many wounded people in the gathering place. As long as it's a rational person, it's impossible for him to transfer blood to save a monster and not save his own compatriots." In the face of the accusation, the officer, who had already been subdued by the scientists' lunatic scientific spirit, smiled wryly and said, "I'm sorry, Professor. The sand monster is dead, so my mission is over. I'll have to go report now." Then, he turned around and led the soldiers to leave.
"Oh, Professor, there's actually another way to save this sand monster, which is to feed it human food.
For the sake of your safety, I didn't mention this method, so you should be grateful instead of blaming me. " When Zhang Lisheng, who was by the side, saw that the bald scholar had shifted his gaze onto him again, he quickly chimed in.
After that, he strode up to his supervisor and whispered, "Professor, even though there are not many of these monsters in the jungle outside the gathering place, it's not that there are none.
If we spend some time and money, I believe that we can catch one ourselves. "
"I don't think so, Lisheng. This monster is too incredible! Its strength is simply …" Stephen shook his head with a regretful expression. However, when he saw Zhang Lisheng's calm eyes, his heart jolted right away as he blurted out, "Oh, but if it's you, perhaps there's really such a possibility.
Do you have any specific plan now, child? "
"Of course not, Professor. I think there's only one thing we need to plan right now, and that is to build Stanford's biological laboratory on this island as soon as possible while the government has a request for us.
Speaking of the biological laboratory, where's Dr. Shalin? "
"She's already gone. Didn't you notice that there are very few people in the gathering place today? Because of the accident that happened last night, the government has deployed seven ships in New York Harbor and sent a large number of defense battleships to escort them. They have already taken away all the people who want to leave Shrimp B1 Island. She's scared out of her wits and has already boarded the ship early in the morning."
